Whether you have Rock Band 3 or you are planning on buying Rock Band Blitz, Harmonix has some news for you! Rock Band World is a new social application that is making its way to Facebook this month. The app will allow players to compete against other users as well as work with them to accomplish various tasks and goals. Even if you have already mastered every instrument on every song you now are going to have another way to prove yourself and compete against your friends. The application will also allow you to keep track of your own progress and skill. Pretty neat!

Project Director Matthew Nordhaus had this to say about the application: “When designing Rock Band World we wanted to extend the player experience beyond the console in exciting new and social ways. By letting Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 players link both Rock Band Blitz and Rock Band 3 to their large, already established social network, we’re opening up some great opportunities for competitive and collaborative gameplay. We can’t wait to start engaging the community with weekly Goals, and we look forward to seeing how fierce competition can get with Rock Band Blitz Score Wars!”
